Tales from the Creative Process: Obviously inspired by the upcoming Olympics. And this isn't strictly accurate because though the Olympics are officially the Milan-Cortino games, there are actually five hubs spread across Northern Italy hosting events so instead of one big Olympic village there are five smaller ones, the reality makes it annoying from a storytelling perspective because it's highly unlikely that a figure skater-biathlete romance is even an option. Also, this is one of those times where it's obvious I ran out of space because I didn't put any dialogue in the opening.
